The R.M. Young Wind Monitor sensors are used to measure horizontal wind
speed and direction. There are several variations of the wind monitor; see Table
1-1. Some models are configured for use with R.M. Young displays such as the
Wind Tracker or Translator. Others are configured for use with Campbell
Scientific dataloggers.
Wind speed is measured with a helicoid-shaped, four-blade propeller. Rotation
of the propeller produces an AC sine wave signal with frequency proportional
to wind speed.
Vane position is transmitted by a 10K ohm potentiometer. With a precision
excitation voltage applied, the output voltage is proportional to wind direction.
Lead length for the Wind Monitor is specified when the sensor is ordered.
Table 1-2 gives the recommended lead length for mounting the sensor at the
top of the tripod/tower with a crossarm

Cautionary Statements
x
The Wind Monitor is a precision instrument. Please handle it with care.
x
If the Wind Monitor is to be installed at heights over 6 feet, be familiar
with tower safety and follow safe tower climbing procedures.
x
Danger – Use extreme care when working near overhead electrical wires.
Check for overhead wires before mounting the Wind Monitor or before
raising a tower.
x
The black outer jacket of the cable is Santoprene® rubber. This compound
is chosen for its resistance to temperature extremes, moisture, and UV
degradation. However, this jacket will support combustion in air. It is rated
as slow burning when tested according to U.L. 94 H.B. and will pass
FMVSS302. Local fire codes may preclude its use inside buildings.

The wind monitor is manufactured by R.M. Young (Traverse City,
Michigan) and cabled by CSC. The black outer jacket of the cable
is Santoprene ® rubber. This compound was chosen for its
resistance to temperature extremes, moisture, and UV
degradation. However, this jacket will support combustion in air.
It is rated as slow burning when tested according to U.L. 94 H.B.
and will pass FMVSS302. Local fire codes may preclude its use
inside buildings.
Installation
5.1
Siting
Locate wind sensors away from obstructions (for example, trees and buildings).
Generally, there should be a horizontal distance of at least ten times the height
of obstruction between the wind monitor and the obstruction. If the sensors
need to be mounted on a roof, the height of the sensors above the roof, should
be at least 1.5 times the height of the building. See Section 8, References, for a
list of references that discuss siting wind speed and direction sensors.

Assembly and Mounting
Tools required:

x
x
5/64 inch Allen wrench
½ inch open end wrench
Compass and declination angle for the site (see Appendix A)
Small screw driver provided with datalogger
UV resistant cable ties
Small pair of diagonal-cutting pliers
6-10 inch torpedo level
The Wind Monitor mounts to a standard 1” IPS schedule 40 pipe (1.34” O.D).
An orientation ring is provided so that the instrument can be removed for
maintenance, and reinstalled without loss of the wind direction reference.
A Campbell Scientific crossarm can be purchased to mount the Wind Monitor
at a distance from the tower or tripod, so as to minimize the shadowing effect
of the structure.
Install the Wind Monitor and orientation ring as follows:
Install the propeller to its shaft using the nut provided with the sensor.
Place the orientation ring followed by the Wind Monitor on the vertical
mounting pipe; do not tighten the band clamps yet. Orient the junction box so
that it faces south.
Using a compass, orient the sensor to True North or Magnetic North,
depending on your requirements. For a discussion on determining True North
and correcting magnetic declination see Appendix A.
Alignment of the sensor is most easily done with two people after the
datalogger has been programmed to measure wind direction. Sighting down the
centerline of the instrument, point the nose cone to a reference point for North
or True North. With holding this position, rotate the base of the sensor until the
datalogger reads 0. Make sure that the indexing pin on the orientation ring is
engaged with the notch in the sensor, and tighten both band clamps.
When removing the sensor for maintenance, leave the orientation ring in place
to ensure proper orientation upon re-installation of the sensor.

5.4.1 Wind Speed
For CRBasic dataloggers, wind speed is measured using the PulseCount()
instruction. Syntax of the PulseCount() instruction is:
PulseCount( Dest, Reps, PChan, PConfig, POption, Mult, Offset )
The PConfig parameter should be set to 1 (Low Level AC) and the POption
parameter should be set to 1 (Frequency).
For Edlog dataloggers, wind speed is measured using Edlog instruction Pulse
(P3). The configuration parameter should be set to code 21 (Low Level AC,
Output Hz configuration).
The expression for wind speed (U) is:
U = MX + B
Where
M = multiplier
X = number of pulses per second (Hertz)
B = offset
Table 5-4 lists the multipliers to obtain different units when the pulse count
instruction is configured to output Hz (configuration code 21). The helicoid
propeller has a calibration that passes through zero, so the offset is zero (Gill,
1973; Baynton, 1976).

5.4.2 Wind Direction
The wind vane is coupled to a 10 k: potentiometer, which has a 5 degree
electrical dead band between 355 and 360 degrees. A 1 M: resistor between
the signal and ground pulls the signal to 0 mV (0 degrees) when wind direction
is between 355 and 360 degrees.
The CR200(X) datalogger uses the ExDelSE() instruction to measure wind
direction. All other CRBasic dataloggers use the BRHalf() instruction. Edlog
dataloggers (CR510, CR10X, CR23X) use Edlog Instruction 4—Excite, Delay
(P4).
Some CRBasic measurement sequences cause the measurement of the wind
direction to return a negative wind direction (–30º) while in the dead band.
This can be overcome by using a delay of 40 ms (40,000μs) or by setting
negative wind direction values to 0.0: If WindDir < 0, then WindDir = 0.0.
The excitation voltage, range codes, and multipliers for the different datalogger
types are listed in Table 5-5. Appendix B has additional information on the P4
and BRHalf() measurement instructions.

5.4.3 Wind Vector Processing Instruction (Output)
The Wind Vector output instruction is used to process and store mean wind
speed, unit vector mean wind direction, and Standard Deviation of the wind
direction (optional) using the measured wind speed and direction samples.
5.4.4 Example Programs
The following programs measure the Wind Monitor 05103-10 every 5 seconds,
and store mean wind speed, unit vector mean direction, and standard deviation
of the direction every 60 minutes. Wiring for the examples is given in Table 56.

5.4.4.3 Wind Gust Program Example
Along with the standard data suite, this program example includes data outputs
for wind gust. The output interval for all data in the example is 10 minutes. For
each 10 minute interval, average wind spped, direction and standard deviation
are output. Minimum, maximum and wind gust speed values are also output
with their related wind direction values.
In order for a wind gust to be generated for the interval, the wind speed must
be greater than 7.78 m/s and exceed a running 2 minute average by at least 2.5
m/s. If these requirements are not met, the zero value is output for both the
wind gust speed and the related wind direction.

5.4.5 Long Lead Lengths
When sensor lead length exceeds 100 feet, the settling time allowed for the
measurement of the vane should be increased to 20 milliseconds. Theoretical
calculations indicate that 20 milliseconds is conservative.
For the CR200(X) datalogger, enter 20 ms for the Delay parameter of the
ExDelaySE() instruction. For other CRBasic dataloggers, increase the Settling
Time parameter of the BRHalf() instruction to instruction to 20 milliseconds
(20,000 microseconds). For Edlog dataloggers, use Instruction 4—Excite,

Delay (P4) and enter a 2 in the Delay parameter. Edlog dataloggers cannot use
a delay when the 60 Hz rejection option is used.
Note
6.
Do not use long lead lengths in electronically noisy
environments.
Maintenance
R.M. Young suggests that the anemometer bearings and the potentiometer be
inspected at least every 24 months. Only a qualified technician should perform
the replacement.
Obtain an RMA number before returning the sensor to Campbell Scientific
(Canada) for service.
7.
Troubleshooting
7.1
Wind Direction
Symptom: -9999 or no change in direction
1. Check that the sensor is wired to the Excitation and Single-Ended channel
specified by the measurement instruction.
2. Verify that the excitation voltage and Range code are correct for the
datalogger type.
3. Disconnect the sensor from the datalogger and use an ohn meter to check the
potentiometer. Resistance should be about 10K ohms between the Blue and
White wires. The resistance between either the Blue/Green or White/Green
wires should vary between 1K to 11K depending on the vane position.
Resistance when the vane is in the 5 degree dead band should be about 1 M
ohm.
Symptom: Incorrect wind direction
1. Verify that the Excitation voltage, Range code, multiplier and offset
parameters are correct for the datalogger type.
2. Check orientation of sensor, as described in Section 3.
7.2
Wind Speed
Symptom: No wind speed
1. Check that the sensor is wired to the Pulse channel specified by the Pulse
count instruction.
2. Disconnect the sensor from the datalogger and use an ohm meter to check
the coil. The resistance between the red and black wires should be about 2075
ohms. Infinite resistance indicates an open coil; low resistance indicates a
shorted coil.

3. Verify that the Configuration Code, and Multiplier and Offset parameters for
the Pulse Count instruction are correct for the datalogger type.
Symptom: Wind speed does not change
1. For the dataloggers that are programmed with Edlog, the input location for
wind speed is not updated if the datalogger is getting “Program Table
Overruns.” Increase the execution interval (scan rate) to prevent overruns.

Appendix A. Wind Direction Sensor
Orientation
A.1 Determining True North and Sensor Orientation
Orientation of the wind direction sensor is done after the datalogger has been
programmed, and the location of True North has been determined. True North
is usually found by reading a magnetic compass and applying the correction for
magnetic declination; where magnetic declination is the number of degrees
between True North and Magnetic North. Magnetic declination for a specific
site can be obtained from a map, local airport, or through the Natural
Resources Canada website at:
http://geomag.nrcan.gc.ca/calc/mdcal-eng.php
A general map showing magnetic declination for Canada is shown in Figure A1.
Declination angles east of True North are considered negative, and are
subtracted from 0 degrees to get True North as shown in Figure A-2.
Declination angles west of True North are considered positive, and are added
to 0 degrees to get True North as shown in Figure A-3.
Orientation is most easily done with two people, one to aim and adjust the
sensor, while the other observes the wind direction displayed by the datalogger.
1. Establish a reference point on the horizon for True North.
2. Sighting down the instrument center line, aim the nose cone, or
counterweight at True North. Display the input location for wind direction
using the *6 mode of the datalogger, or the Monitor Mode of LoggerNet with
an online PC.
3. Loosen the band clamps or set screws that secure the base of the sensor to
the mast or crossarm. While holding the vane position, slowly rotate the sensor
base until the datalogger indicates 0 degrees. Tighten the band clamps or set
screws loosened previously.
4. Engage the orientation ring indexing pin in the notch at the instrument base
(05103, 05106, and 05305 sensors only), and tighten the band clamp on the
orientation ring.

Measurement Theory
It is not necessary to understand the concepts in this section for the general
operation of the 05103 with Campbell Scientific’s datalogger.
B.1 BRHalf Instruction
The BRHalf instruction outputs a precise excitation voltage (Vx), and measures
the voltage between the wiper and ground (Vs). The resistance between the
wiper and ground, Rs, and Vs varies with wind direction. The measurement
result is the ratio of the measured voltage to the excitation voltage (Vs/Vx).
This ratio is related to the resistance as shown below:
Vs Vx
Rs Rt Rs The maximum value that Rs will reach is Rf, just before it crosses over from the
west side of north to the east side of north (at this point Rt = 0). Vs / Vx reaches
its maximum value of 1.0 mV/mV at 355 degrees. The multiplier to convert
Vs/Vx to degrees is 355 degrees / 1.0 Vs/Vx = 355. Since the datalogger outputs
the ratio Vs / Vx, the multiplier is the same for both the CR10(X) and CR3000,
even though they use a different excitation voltage. See Section 13.5 in the
datalogger manual for more information on the bridge measurements.
B.2 EX-DEL-SE (P4) Instruction
Instuction 4 outputs a precise excitation voltage (Vx) and measures the voltage
between the wiper and analog ground, Vs. The resistance between the wiper
and analog ground, Rs, and Vs varies with wind direction. Instruction 4 outputs

the measured coltage, Vs. This measured voltage is related to resistance as
shown below:
Vs
Vx ˜ Rs Rt Rs The maximum value that Rs will reach is Rf just before it crosses over from the
west side of north to the east side of north (at this point Rt = 0). Vs reaches its
maximum value of Vx. The maximum voltage equals 2500 mV for an
excitation voltage of 2500 mV recommended for the CR10(X) and 5000 mV
for an excitation voltage of 5000 mV recommended for the CR23X at 355
degrees. The multiplier to convert Vs to degrees is 355 degrees / 2500 mV =
0.142 for the CR10X, or, 355 degrees / 5000 mV = 0.071 for the CR23X. See
Section 13.5 in the datalogger manual for more information on the bridge
measurements.
